I have a TL 2003 Sedan and my drivers side window switch broke. I was still able to you it but for just under a day but unfortunately it seems to have fried something because now my windows will not open or close and neither will my drivers side seat move back or forward. I have checked all fuses in the car and under the bonnet and they all intact. I have also bought a new electric windows centre console switchboard. Would anyone be able to suggest what else might be in disarray. Thanks.

check your engine bay fusible links if they look ok then check for power @ the window relay and on the blue/red wire going into your seat
is the window relay switching? pull it with the ignition on and listen for a "click"

Ok thank you for the suggestion will have a look tonight and let you know how I go. Where abouts is the window relay and the blue/red wire going into the seat? Thanks

window relay = in engine bay fuse box
blue red wire = under seat

Thank you the_ash. As it turned out it was the fusible link window relay that needed replacing. I checked every single fuse but neglected the relays doh. So now my windows and seat are now working. Seems that the electric seat is run off the same relay. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
